    Last night a mention was made in a post of how bad democrats are for "Joe six-pack," or as i would call them, working men and women. After all, not many of us are born with a silver spoon in our rectum and a lifetime of privilege. Most of us had some kind of jobs as teenagers (and before) to make a buck and maybe help pay our way through school. Loved the fact Kamala worked at a McDonalds, pure Joy, for sure.

    With that set up, i was stunned at Clinton's remarks at the convention where he claimed since 1989 through now, Democrats saw 50 million jobs created compared to 1 million jobs during republicans time in office. He used the presidency as the criteria and he used actual year start and end of terms as his benchmarks.

    My first take was he was blowing smoke and ignored it. Then he repeated 2 or 3 more times and so the next morning i went looking for verification of the statistic. Damned if i didn't find it here in this cut:
    "In tabulating the monthly job totals, and starting in February for the respective presidential administrations, there were 50.281 million jobs added during Democratic administrations and 1.544 million jobs added during Republican administrations (including January 1989’s 263,000 net gain, as that was the end of Republican President Ronald Reagan’s term). The totals vary slightly if the presidential terms are started in January (49.985 million for Democratic presidents and 1.84 million for Republican presidents)."

    It came as no surprise to me. In my previous lifetime of work, i never talked with a republican who gave two squirts about the 7000 plus members of our union. Their mantra and their mission was the employers. We simply were at odds over who represented who. Sadly for them, there were far more employees than there were employers.

    In an effort to be fair, this morning i went in search of a rebuttal to Clinton's numbers. The headline proclaimed how outrageous and what a boldface lie it was. Then i read the article and their attack point was he took the most advantageous timing he could to generate the outcome he did.

    Another words, it was bang on true. Democrats have always been more focused on working men and women. Republican's have always catered to the big dollar donors who wanted pay back for their largess. With trump they got it in spades.

    The 2017 tax cuts were huge givebacks to those millionaires and billionaires who needed it the least. Now in 2025 he wants to yet again restore them as they sunset. With that in mind, please spare me the rhetoric how trump cares about "Joe six pack." He only sees them as cash cows to keep buying his cheap China made crap promotional stuff.

    Hell, he told us he doesn't even need their votes. Imagine that, imagine any politician in their right mind saying that?

    Clinton's numbers verified what i always knew and it does bring me Joy Baby, Joy.

    I heard of Snopes years ago but never went to the site, so like Trump I don’t know anything about these people, never met with them or saw their computer stuff. Unlike Trump I am telling the truth and he is a lying sack of shit, always was, always will be. World with out end, amen.

    Let’s face it cupcake, aside from some crap on me you found on FB, you know nothing about me, my education, positions I have held, my career, my client base, who I worked with in the office, the outside companies and attorneys I worked with on a professional basis, my accomplishments, nothing. You are just bitter old woman sitting with your computer cranking out crap, posting stupid videos, like I believe any horseshit coming from the Catholic Church, and a megaton of hatred in your heart for who knows what reason. You try to come off as a serious person, I guarantee you are not. Trump was right, he does love the uneducated.

    You seem to be committed to Trump winning but are you a gambling person, are you ready to put your money where your big mouth is. How many percentage points do you think Trump will win by nationally? Do you think he will win by 5 percentage points or more? How much are you willing to put up to back your claim? Your move.

    I never said I did, however please feel free to prove me wrong.

    I am a lot younger than you and if you don't like what I post please feel free to hit the ignore button. Who is forcing you to read what I post or look at the videos, especially the videos. You actually open them? Why? You have never met me so to assume I have hatred in my heart is just idiotic. You can feel however you want about Catholicism but if you are trying to change my life long beliefs it won't work, so trash it, God, whoever you want. It doesn't matter.

    The only thing on FB was your High School and college. High school being the same I reached out thinking we may have a little in common. Believe me I will never make that mistake again.

    BTW I am not your "cupcake", so please refrain from ever calling me that again. Better yet I will never address any of your posts again so please do not address any more of mine including this one.
